Johannesburg - His T-shirt caused chaos and sparked debate across social media last month. It was no ordinary shirt, but one which read “F*** White People”.
And the man who started it all says he just wanted people to talk.

I just took a T-shirt and I wrote how I was feeling at that moment. I was angry because so many black students, who are good students, were facing financial exclusion, said Zama Mthunzi
“It all started with the#FeesMustFall movement last year,” said third-year mathematical science student Zama Mthunzi.
Last month, an Art Activation protest was organised by Wits students as a way for them to express how they felt about the university, especially in the wake of #FeesMustFall and the financial exclusion of students.
“I just took a T-shirt and I wrote how I was feeling at that moment. I was angry because so many black students, who are good students, were facing financial exclusion,” said Mthunzi.
“It also came from the fact that white students can pay fees and there is no stress for them. It’s the complete opposite for black students, who are facing uphill battles all the time. Some students may not have been financially excluded but they’re sleeping in libraries or have no textbooks.”

(Kill the Boers/Whites!)
They shouted it in 1838 when they massacred unarmed Boer emissaries, the sang it during 'The [armed] Struggle' of the 20th Century and they still sing it to this day, in a Black-majority 'non-racist' democracy, in defiance of hate-speech rulings. Nothing has changed...
